    Default Hello from newbie in UK

    Been reading up all I can and finally took the plunge got my dovo razor couple days back had two shaves so far first went ok no blood but not to good a shave. Had second shave today a lot more beard removed but a couple of nicks this time hope the nerves calm down soon when I hold that razor to my face at the moment scared I'm going to cut my throat but definately going to stick with it.

    Hello and welcome to SRP. Congrats on taking your first shave and the success. Your fist shave sounds like a lot of first shaves - minus the blood

    Keep at it and ask a lot of questions - there are some really great guys here to help.

    Welcome brave Sir robin Just takes a little time & practice.

    Welcome to the SRP forums. Be sure to strop just before each and every shave on a plain leather strop for 30-60 rountrip laps.Your face will thank you!
